We analyzed the flow of carbon offset credits from conventional registries to the blockchain. Our work shows that nearly all of these credits have been excluded from conventional markets.

Policy Brief
Alaska passed a bill that allows state forests to join the voluntary carbon market. We summarize the evidence that this program might result in non-additional offset credits.
May 03 2023
Policy Brief
Quebec's flawed reforestation offsets protocol overestimates the value of temporary carbon storage and ignores the albedo effects of planting trees.
Nov 22 2022
Policy Brief
We summarize a public comment letter from 16 organizations to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) on recommendations for the treatment of carbon removal in their net-zero standard.

Nature Plants
A paper using coupled seaweed growth and technoeconomic models to better understand the potential role of seaweed farming for carbon removal and biomass products.

Frontiers
An actuarial analysis of California's forest carbon offset insurance program shows that it fails to adequately address risks from wildfire and sudden oak death.

Global Change Biology
An ex post analysis shows that credited carbon sequestration in California projects is likely non-additional. These findings illustrate the importance of using dynamic baseline controls to credit carbon.
May 11 2022
Ecology Letters
A paper quantifying the key climate drivers that fuel risks to forests in the United States from wildfire, drought, and insects, and projecting those risks over the 21st century.
